Foreign ministers of some Muslim countries will meet in Istanbul on Monday to discuss the Gaza ceasefire and next steps there, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Friday, voicing concern over whether the ceasefire will continue.
Speaking at a press conference in Ankara, Fidan said the gathering would include foreign ministers of countries represented at a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in New York in September.
"Firstly, negotiations with the parties are continually ongoing to ensure the ceasefire remains in place and to avoid misunderstandings.
Necessary efforts are underway to ensure the inflow of humanitarian aid. However, I regret to say that there are still obstacles posed by Israel to the inflow of the desired amount of humanitarian aid.
Furthermore, how to proceed to the second phase, how to implement the stability force and other peace plan-specified bodies, are currently under discussion (with guarantor countries). Some are in advanced discussions, while others are in the early stages." he said.
That meeting, to discuss the situation in Gaza, was attended by Türkiye, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Pakistan and Indonesia.
"The topics being discussed currently are how to proceed to the second stage, the stability force," Fidan said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted last week at his opposition to any role for Turkish security forces in the Gaza Strip as part of a mission to monitor a U.S.-backed ceasefire with the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
A source confirmed to AnewZ earlier in the week that Azerbaijan had been invited to join the Gaza stabilisation force. Azerbaijan was yet to respond to the request the source said.
